I need your help to know whether this question is correct (no question mark required). Thanks in advance. (one full stop is sufficient) :-o

I assume you don't want to ask him exactly what he is doing right now, at that moment, because of course he is meeting you. I would say:

- What do you do? Are you studying?
- What do you do? Are you a student?
- Are you a student or do you work?

"Are you doing your studies?" sounds rather unnatural.
